Headlight Help

TheZift · 09-24-2010, 05:09 PM

Hey guys...
I have a question/ concern.
I have and e90 2008 328i 4dr.. pre lci anyway, I have those nasty us spec halogen headlights.. the ones without angel eyes
I was wondering if I could just buy euro spec headlights and just plug them in. I got a friend who sells phillips bulbs and ballasts so I'm not to worried about the conversion from halogen to xenon. I am just wondering.... will the angel eyes work right away if I plug them in? and if I wanted to upgrade he angel eyes would I need another ballast? its confusing.... I need some help... thanks

The angel eyes will work fine, you don't need ballast for that. You can get some nice LEDs to replace the OEM angel eye bulbs.
